Selection of optimal filters for multispectral imaging.
Preece and Claridge [IEEE Trans. Pattern Anal. Mach. Intell. 26, 913 (2004)] have proposed a technique for selecting filters for the maximally accurate recovery of object parameters such as chromophore concentrations from a multispectral image of an object. Their selection criteria are derived from an analysis of a model of light propagation in the object and take into account both errors in the modeling process and errors in the image acquisition process, as well as the inherent behavior and structure of the model. We investigate their method on simulated image data and show that filters selected according to their criteria are demonstrably superior to other choices.
